I have been reading many good apologetics books lately. The Current one I am reading is Catholic Versus by Dave Armstronng.

In it he mentions a lot of Luther’s, Calvin’s and Wesley’s theology.

They differ on many points and some being diametrically opposed.

I really need to re-read the book with paper and pencil in hand and write down the differing viewpoints of each and also how they differ from Catholicism.

I was trying to find some sort of comparison chart online of their differences (instead of having to make one from scratch by myself)

I found some very simplistic ones online but they were not correct about Catholicism and didn’t really compare the differences about the different Protestant reformers.

Anyway does anyone know if there are any good charts and or resources online that compare the different viewpoints of the Protestant reformers preferably side by side on different doctrines.

That would be a great help.

I am finding it interesting how Calvin and Luther are at odds on many points of doctrine.

Thanks in Advance Deeny 🙂
 
It is helpful- But since they all appeal to the Bible yet disagreed on many theological points- I was hoping for a side by side comparison of their differing doctrinal stances/ interpretation of key scriptures on different topics such as Justification , Sanctification , the Eucharist, Baptism etc

My contention is you can’t interpret the Bible correctly apart from Apostolic Tradition and apart from the Church

Protestants appeal only to the Bible as their authority but then tend to pick and choose doctrines depending on which Protestant Reformer their own interpretation of the Bible lines up best with.
 
You sound like St. Vincent of Lerins writing around 434 A.D. :D*But here some one perhaps will ask, Since the canon of Scripture is complete, and sufficient of itself for everything, and more than sufficient, what need is there to join with it the authority of the Church’s interpretation? For this reason, because, owing to the depth of Holy Scripture, all do not accept it in one and the same sense, but one understands its words in one way, another in another; so that it seems to be capable of as many interpretations as there are interpreters. *
